We have an HOA. Private pool, tennis and a gym. I pay out the nose on a quarterly basis. Visitors pay $10 per day and must be accompanied by a resident. I’d be outraged if a bunch of fools showed out of the blue demanding to use a pool I pay for.
That’s nice but can we stick to the facts of what actually happened in this particular situation? I have read versions by residents and it isn’t the story the MSM is presenting, as usual.
That is public accommodations.
There are already prohibitions on discriminating against home buyers. The neighborhood itself is not segregated as a private entity.
It seems it now cannot even refuse “undocumented” residents access to their facilities.
Can I go into an office building and start using their photocopier, I wonder?
The left tries to conflate “race” with culture.
That’s because they don’t want to go anywhere near the idea that some cultures are indeed superior to others.
So, they shut down the exploration and debate of that concept by calling any and all who “go there”, “racist”.
We had a problem with “teens” finding out the gate security code in our neighborhood.
The HOA had to end up hiring a security guard to watch the pool.
it would be interesting to know where more factual information might be obtained.
I read (for what it’s worth) that there was a party with a DJ and the DJ was tweeting for people to come and they did. I also read juveniles were jumping private fences and getting into residents’ pools. Sounds like a lot of “youths” behaving like “youths”.

Summer Jam concert erupts into chaos as agitated crowds try to get in
A hip-hop and R&B concert in New Jersey erupted into chaos Sunday night when police in riot gear tried to contain agitated crowds.
The melee started when attendees tried to forcefully enter the Summer Jam concert at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, authorities said.

Still more “youths” being “youths”.
But today we are told how it was all "peace and love".

This isn’t really about race. It’s about a clash of cultures
First off this is a neighborhood pool paid for by HOA dues. According to residents this all started when a DJ set up and began to play loud rap and hip hop music. It is not clear whether the DJ had permission to be there. Some of the music included foul lyrics which upset many of the residents as they had small children present.
Then the DJ began tweeting about the pool party which brought car loads of kids from outside the neighborhood. These kids were not invited guests and had no right to be there. Some residents say the kids were loud profane and smoking weed. Words were exchanged and police called.
Obviously the one cop over reacted but the others acted correctly even to the point of restraining the out of control cop.
Cairo, Illinoisa prime example of how racial strife can kill a community closed its public pool rather than open it to blacks. Whites formed/joined a country club with a private pool. Blacks got to swim (and drown) in the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. Southern Illinois is much more of the South than the North.
Yes I think that the PC powers that be would prefer us all to believe segregation was only in the South. :-)
I guess private property is racist. What if one of those trespassers had drowned? Can you imagine the hell that HOA would have caught for not making the pool drown proof? As if they could.
Hmm, there is a skyrise apartment complex not far from me that rents out its pool to strangers for money (you pay to go to the pool). The same is true of some of the ritzy hotels in Vegas. Doesn't sound like they are trying to "control the class (or) racial composition of swimmers". Monetizing it makes it a business open to the public.
Liebrals dont care about facts.. only feeelings.. theirs..
ALL homeowners are at risk of lawsuit if someone jumps the fence surrounding ‘your’ property and taking a dip in your pool. I belive you are required to install an additional gate around your pool (at least with new construction).
I hear it has something to do with an inviting temptation.
This one I find is for rental properties with multiple dwellings.

In todays world of PC it would have been OK to just say "Go home" but mentioning Section 8 housing was rasis don-cha-no.
